Princess Jimiao, the third daughter of Jinan, had just arrived in her thirties, and her son-in-law Qiu Yuan was an idle official in the royal family. This shows how much the king loved this daughter. The younger the son-in-law was, the more dependent he was on his daughter.
"Let me take you to Zihai for two days." Ji Miao made a suggestion.
The Purple Sea is not a sea, but a purple bamboo forest. The purple bamboo here is really purple, and the bamboo leaves are also lavender. Thousands of acres of mountainous land are covered with purple bamboo. From a distance, it is a purple ocean.
Ding Kui and Shaodian Luan had never seen such a scenery before, and they praised that their trip was not in vain.
"Take me up and have a look." Shao Dian Luan looked at Ding Kui lovingly.
They have reached the highest point of the Purple Sea, but as you can imagine, the view from the sky is even more beautiful and spectacular.
Shao Dianluan always sees Ding Kui taking Jingjing flying into the sky at home. She is very envious but is embarrassed to say it out. When she is promoted to the master knight, she can also fly, but this place is different from home. She may not have the chance to come back in the future. Even if she can fly, she will be able to fly.
Not here anymore.
Ding Kui couldn't help but agreed.
Dou Qi Dragon cannot humiliate other people, after all, it is an aggressive energy body, but it can provide Shao Dian Luan with a foothold, allowing Shao Dian Luan to jump back and forth in the air.
"Look at me." Ji Miao was extremely envious.
Qiu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Consort Ding is the master knight, Shaodian, a rare talent of the Ding family for thousands of years. Looking at the entire Shenyuan Continent, how many consorts at his age can do it? You ask me to learn from him, isn't that embarrassing?
.”
"My cousin's life is so good." Ji Miao looked up at the sky, not wanting to look at her husband.
"It would be great if she could marry into our country." Qiu Yuan muttered quietly.
"Silence!" Ji Miao lowered her head and stared at Qiu Yuan, "Why am I here to accompany my cousin? Don't you understand what my father and mother mean? Don't mention that matter again!"
Qiu Yuan drooped his head and said nothing.
Everyone from Shaodian Kingdom arrived, including Qian You who was escorting Ouyang Heng and others. However, the white-robed magician also flew into the sky to provide Shaodian Luan with an extra layer of insurance. No one paid attention to the conversation between Ji Miao and his wife.
"Huh? Someone is coming, let's get down." Ding Kui took his wife and flew to the ground.
It would be unsightly to jump around on top of her husband in the sky, and it wouldn't matter if Ji Miao and others saw her. It would damage the image of the eldest princess in the eyes of outsiders.
"Drink some water." Ding Fen handed the water bag to Shaodian Luan, whose head was steaming.
Because of the ice jade on the body, the heat emitted from the body will turn into water vapor and evaporate from the top of the head.
Ding Kui ran to ask Qiu Yuan: "Do you have any other guests arranged to come here?"
The Purple Sea is a famous scenic spot near Shouyang City. People come here to visit it all year round. However, due to the arrival of Ding Kui and others, Qiu Yuan transferred the imperial guards and sealed off the entire Purple Sea, preventing other tourists from entering.
.
"No, we didn't receive anyone else except you." Qiu Yuan also felt strange.
On the top of the mountain, you can see people going up the mountain, also under the banner of the clan government. Judging from the level, it seems that they are not as low as those brought by Qiu Yuan.
After a while, a fast horse ran up and said, "Master Qiu, Princess Lu has arrived."
"Princess Lu?" Ding Kui's mind immediately thought of the woman he had seen at Tuan Inn.
"Yes, Princess Lu's bodyguards have rumored that she wants to travel to the Purple Sea with Princess Shaodian and her consort."
Shaodian Luan was very surprised when he heard this and asked Ding Kui: "Do you know the princess of my country?"
"I don't know him!" Ding Kui firmly denied that he entered Lu State anonymously.
"Didn't Princess Lu just arrive in Shouyang City yesterday?" Qiu Yuan knew the guests who had recently arrived in the capital.
"Yes, I came here overnight because I knew you were coming."
"Don't you know Lu Xi, cousin?" Ji Miao was attracted.
"I don't know." Shaodian Luan looked down the mountain, trying to see something.
"She should be the oldest unmarried princess in Shenyuan Continent." Ji Miao told a little gossip.
"She is almost forty." Ding Kui had Lu Xi's information, "Did Lu Guo send her to celebrate his aunt's birthday?"
Shaodian Luan said unnaturally: "What else? Are you here to choose your consort?" Lu Xi is unlikely to come to her, most likely to come to Ding Kui.
Yes, Ding Kui has some grudges with Lu Guo.
"I don't have a suitable brother for her, and my brothers are too young." Ji Miao thought about this problem.
"Go sit down in the pavilion over there and wait. It will be clear when she comes up." Ding Kui also guessed that Lu Xi came to see him.
He thought that Lu Guoguo would send high-level officials to contact him, but what he didn't expect was a princess. He heard that King Lu loved this princess very much.
There is a pavilion at the highest point of the Purple Sea for tourists to rest. Ding Kui and others had cleaned it before going up the mountain, and everything was provided including refreshments and fruits. It can be seen that Qiu Yuan made careful preparations.
This is one of the reasons why Ding Kui asked Ji Miao to accompany him. Having a princess as a tour guide will not cause the same thing as the waterfall. The official will provide the best viewing experience.
The person who came was also a princess, which could explain why no one came to report until they reached the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, someone would have to be sent to Qiu Yuan to apply in advance.
Lu Xi stepped down from a soft sedan chair, and Shao Dian Luan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. This princess looked about the same age as Ji Miao, but her appearance was inferior.
Ji Miao and Shao Dian Luan took the initiative to greet him, followed by Ding Kui and Qiu Yuan. The three princesses greeted each other according to their age.
"The two sisters are suitable for such a beautiful scenery. I am here to look abrupt." Lu Xi glanced at Ding Kui casually and thought to himself: With those eyes, he is about the same size.
Ding Kui was keenly aware of the other party's secret attention and kept a signature smile on his face.
Ji Miao and Shaodian Luan said a few polite words, and Lu Xi added: "This time it came suddenly, and I didn't prepare any gifts. Don't be surprised by the two sisters and brother-in-law."
"You are the queen mother's guest, so there is no reason to give us gifts. We did not go down the mountain to greet you, so please forgive me." Qiu Yuan pretended to decline, feeling pleased with himself. Princess Lu's move was definitely extraordinary.
There is no way, he has no money in the clan house, and his meager salary is far from enough for ordinary expenses. He often has to make extra money in the name of the princess, and there are not many people who take the initiative to give gifts.
Ding Kui thought to himself: Do you still need to prepare? You can just grab some things from Lu's Chamber of Commerce. This only shows that you have something on your mind.
"How old am I? I call myself my sister shamelessly, but I still accept your salutes. I have to behave like a sister. I will prepare a small gift for you and send it to your house. Don't take it back." Lu Xi smiled and caught me.
Lift the hands of Ji Miao and Shaodian Luan.
The three princesses chatted together naturally, while Qiu Yuan and Ding Kui sat a little apart. There was a new princess who had not left the palace, so it was necessary to keep a little distance.
"I'm sorry to trouble you to accompany me this time." Ding Kui took the initiative to hold Shangqiu Yuan's hand.
Qiu Yuan's expression changed, and he felt that there was an extra card in his hand. Judging from the feel, it should be a gold coin card.
He peeked and saw, sure enough, a card worth 100,000 gold coins, "Hahaha, Brother Ding is so polite! As for my family, we should keep in touch with each other more often. As long as you say hello, I will accompany you at any time. I am very familiar with the Shouyang City area."
." He quietly put the gold coin card into his pocket without letting anyone see it.
Come on! This money is enough for you to live comfortably for a while. He is the consort, and I am also the consort, so why is there such a big difference?
Ding Kui smiled knowingly, took back his hand, and said: "Shouyang City has outstanding people, beautiful scenery, and warm people. I would like to meet a few more friends when I come out. I'll ask Brother Qiu to introduce them to you then."
"It's easy to talk about. What kind of friends do you want to make? I can help you find them." Qiu Yuan patted his pocket and felt more at ease.
"Let's talk when we get back. Look, they are going to see the bamboo." Ding Kui saw the three princesses standing up.
There are more than ten viewing spots in the Purple Sea, where you can see strange scenes. It would take a day to walk down them all, so it was almost dark when they finished the tour.
There is an inn next to the bamboo forest. Qiu Yuan had already sent someone to book an inn, so that even if there were more Lu Xi and his party, they could stay there.
Lu Xi took the time to come to Ding Kui and said, "I heard that the consort has some misunderstandings about our country?"
"Haha, His Highness is a cheerful person. I like talking to cheerful people."
Lu Xi raised his eyebrows: "You admit it?"
"You can't call it a misunderstanding, it's a contradiction!" Ding Kui didn't beat around the bush.
Lu Xi took a deep breath and asked, "Let's talk some time?" She knew that some words would not be clear for a while.
Chu.
"Who do you represent?" Ding Kui couldn't figure out her position.
"I represent myself, and I can also represent Lu Guo." Lu Xi came prepared.
"Okay, just tonight, it's quite quiet here." Ding Kui was sure that he was the person with the highest combat power within a hundred miles.
Chatting secrets in Shouyang City may be monitored. Every country has at least one magic tower. The person who controls the magic tower can monitor the entire city.
"Our conversation may involve some secrets, including Shopkeeper Qi. It's up to you whether you want to bring your wife with you." After Lu Xi finished speaking, he turned and left.
She believed that Ding Kui would arrange the time and place.
Ding Kui's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Shopkeeper Qi was the one who was worried about him. It was really not appropriate to let others know before he understood the situation clearly.
"I want to discuss something with Lu Xi, which may involve my father, so I need to meet in private." He confessed to Shao Dianluan.
Shaodian Luan covered his mouth and took a breath before saying, "Is there any news about father?"
"I don't know. My father met Lu Xi in Lu State, and I also met him, but we were not familiar with each other at that time. She probably didn't know who I was at that time." Ding Kui felt that his wife had the right to know.
"She won't use her father to blackmail you, right?" Shao Dianluan was a little worried.
"It's hard to say. Logically speaking, she won't be allowed to talk to me. I don't think she has any ill intentions towards my father." Ding Kui saw something wrong when he met Lu Xi for the first time.
"Then you go and have a good talk with her." Shao Dian Luan supported Ding Kui.
The palace maid Xiao Rong accompanied Lu Xi to her country this time, but she did not recognize Ding Kui. Ding Kui passed behind her during dinner and stuffed a roll of paper into her hand.
After the meal, she blushed and said to Lu Xi: "Your Highness, then, then, that consort Ding asked the slave to meet."
"Ah? How did he ask you out?" Lu Xi was very surprised.
When Xiao Rong took out the scroll, Lu Xi finally understood and said, "He's not dating you, he's dating me."
"Ah?" This time it was Xiao Rong's turn to be surprised.
